WG Climate change mitigation

Landscapes have been constantly transformed by anthropogenic influences. Large agricultural areas have been transformed into energy landscapes by new energy infrastructures such as wind turbines.
The transformation process of the German energy transition has only just begun. In 2018, a share of only 16.6% of gross final energy consumption in Germany was covered by energy from renewable sources. Therefore, it is necessary to be aware of the future challenges, which include the preservation of biodiversity and societal challenges such as energy consumption and the acceptance of renewable energies.
